Polish and Cyrillic Fonts

If you do not have fonts for Polish and/or Russian Cyrillic, or if you
discover that the fonts you have do not use the same ASCII codes as the
JRI-PL standards then please download the fonts below.

At this time we have put together files for Windows 95 and Windows 3.x users.
We have no files for Mac users. We would be pleased to hear from any Mac users
experienced with using Polish and Cyrillic fonts.

Windows 95

We would advise Windows 95 users to install the Multilanguage Support
Pack that comes with some versions of Windows 95. Windows 95 Multilanguage
Support is a utility that allows you to write documents in Bulgarian,
Belorussian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Polish, Russian, and Slovenian.

HOW TO INSTALL
--------------

After downloading the file LANG.EXE copy it into a new folder
and Double-click the file. This will cause it to de-compress itself.

Open the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, select the
"Windows Setup" tab, and click the "Have Disk..." button.

In the "Install from Disk" dialog, enter the location
where LANG.EXE was run, and click OK.

Choose the options you want to install, and click the
"Install" button.

Once you have installed this utility, you can delete the files
from the folder that LANG.EXE was run.

If you need to uninstall this utility, open the Control Panel,
and double-click "Add/Remove Software."

After following these instructions you will find that under MOST
Windows software you will see 'families' of fonts under Arial, Courier
and Times New Roman. For example the new Arial 'flavours' are:

Arial Baltic

Arial CE
(Central European)

Arial Cyr
(Cyrillic)

Arial Greek

Arial Tur
(Turkish)

Under some software packages (for example Excel 97) you may see these
new fonts listed in your pull-down font selection boxes but you will find
that the fonts do not appear to work as you would expect. For these packages
not only must you have the Multilingual Support Fonts installed, but you
must also install the relevant KEYBOARD layout for the particular country!

To install these keyboard layouts, run the Windows 95 Control Panel and
double-click on the keyboard setting. Select the 'language' tab. You can
then click the 'Add' button to add support for another country and scroll
down the country list until you find 'Polish'. Highlight that entry and
click 'ok' to select it. Repeat this for 'Russian'.

NOTE: You can only add these keyboard layouts AFTER you have installed
the Multilingual Support Fonts as detailed above.

Having added these keyboard layouts you will now see that on your Windows 95
System tray at the bottom right corner of your screen there are the
letters 'En' signifying that your current language is English.
Clicking on these letters will pop up a selection box where you can choose
Polish or Russian. The letters shown at the bottom right of your monitor
change to 'Pl' or 'Ru' respectively to give you an clear indication of the
current language and keyboard setting. You will find that by selecting
Polish in this way that Excel 97 will now display the Polish Font correctly
and similarly for Russian Cyrillic.

Windows 3.x (and Windows 95)

For Windows 3.x users (or for Windows 95 users who are put off by the
apparent complexity of the instructions above!) you can install 2 true-type
fonts that will provide you with both a Polish and Cyrillic font that meet
the JRI-PL standard ASCII codes requirement.

After downloading the file WINFONTS.EXE copy it into a new
folder/directory and 'run' the file. This will cause it to
de-compress itself.

Open the Control Panel and double-click the "Fonts" icon.

Follow the on-screen selections to Add or Install a new font. In the
"Install from Disk" dialog or the dirve/directory selection box, enter
the location where WINFONTS.EXE was run, and click OK. Make sure you
select the option to copy the fonts to your System directory or fonts
folder.

There are only two true-type fonts supplied. 'Cyrillic 1' and
'Eastern Europe Roman'. Install them both.

Once you have installed the fonts, you can delete the files
from the directory/folder that WINFONTS.EXE was run from.

You may need to restart Windows before the new fonts are available to you.
